But I I slightly lost it this morning on DH and SD5. I stopped at Sonic this mornin and got the skids French toast sticks for breakfast just because. I thought they would like them bc it was a break from the norm and it was easier for me too than having to deal with cereal and milk or making oatmeal or whatever. SD5 has gotten SuCH an attitude lately and it's just pissing me off in the worst way. For example the other day she asked for dessert after dinner. I said okay and instead of just handing her some fruit snacks or a Popsicle like normal I had made a fruit/cake trifle thing, with flavored homemade whipped cream and it was damn delicious but again not the norm and I was trying to be nice and gave her some of that. She looked at it and said "let me guess, fruit cake." okay via text you can hear the obnoxious tone she had. Yes, normal 5 year old crap I told her she was right and gave her a fork. These little "let me guess" comments and a few others this week have really been getting under my skin. I know I know normal 5 year old whatever so I've let it roll off my back. This morning as I was plating their french toast sticks and syrup and I threw some strawberries on the plate for good measure and bc they love them. She asked me if I got them last night or this morning. I said this morning and they were still warm. She the said "let me guess, from Soooooonic". I WANTED to smack the BM off her face (ESP when she is snarling like that she looks identical to BM) but instead I said yep, I thought you'd like them and came into the bedroom where DH was getting ready to leave for work. He could see I was visibly upset and asked what was wrong and I told him her attitude was killing me (he knows ab the little things this week and how they've been adding up) and I explained what happened and he says to me..."did she say it with an attitude?" Nope. No you fucking idiot, I just said her attitude was killing me but no she was super sweet. I am so sick of him constantly second guessing and questioning everything I say/do with them when he's around. Meanwhile he NEVER IS and I've taken on the responsibility of raising these two children as if they were my own, caring for and loving them but heaven forbid I even try to vent to him for support without him making me feel like I'm criticizing his precious princess!!! Isn't this what "normal" non blended parents do? Raise the children and vent to each other for support?! Well anyway I told him to text BM and find out when I can drop them bc I was supposed to drop at 3 bc Easter is her holiday so she gets them this afternoon but i have to work tonight and while I was going to stay up all day and dye Easter eggs with them and what not, nope. Today I am done. She bitched and complained but DID agree that I could drop them off at 11. Thank you BM...thank you for allowing me to raise your children all the while bitching and complaining about everything I do but acting like its such an inconvenice when you "have to take them" for your freaking holiday!!! Ugh. After I yelled at DH ab how I'm so sick of him and basically defending stupid shit the skids do, all I was saying was she had an attitude and I needed a minute to gather myself to deal with her today. Hence why I came in to my bedroom and was "whoosa"ing. Bc I really like I said wanted to smash her head in to he glass table. Anyway after that and he went to work I went and told her I was done with her attitude and she better not ask me for anything anymore bc I'm sick of the attitude. I shouldn't have said anything to her. She's 5. She comes from a screwed up BM and...she's 5. I'm the adult and should've handled myself as such. I hate it that I let it get the best of me. Ugh. But...I did get an afternoon of napping instead of dying eggs with the same bratty 5 year old and then going to work at 5 exhausted. Could've ended worse. I just hope a. BM isn't a bitch or even shows her face when I drop them off at her parents house and b. that they have a good Easter. We will dye eggs next week either way. They of course don't know that or probably even care but yeah. Hope everyone else's has a happy Easter!!
